Are you implying that the Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes is somehow not an important race?

Why, the winner of it has finished either 1st or 2nd in the Kentucky Derby 66.6% of the time throughout the long and storied history of that race!


Hard Spun's sire never had to win a stake race on the track--and he sure went big time! And besides....didn't you hear that Darley guy....he said he's "thrilling!" As others around here like saying so much.....he sure has done enough.

Slightly off topic-ish, but can anyone tell me if Princess Haya of Jordan (i.e. Shiekh Mo's wife) has any horses in training in the States??
